commit e4a38402c36e42df28eb1a5394be87e6571fb48a upstream.

The pthread struct is allocated on PRIVATE|ANONYMOUS memory [1] which
can be targeted by the oom reaper.  This mapping is used to store the
futex robust list head; the kernel does not keep a copy of the robust
list and instead references a userspace address to maintain the
robustness during a process death.

A race can occur between exit_mm and the oom reaper that allows the oom
reaper to free the memory of the futex robust list before the exit path
has handled the futex death:

    CPU1                               CPU2
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    page_fault
    do_exit "signal"
    wake_oom_reaper
                                        oom_reaper
                                        oom_reap_task_mm (invalidates mm)
    exit_mm
    exit_mm_release
    futex_exit_release
    futex_cleanup
    exit_robust_list
    get_user (EFAULT- can't access memory)

If the get_user EFAULT's, the kernel will be unable to recover the
waiters on the robust_list, leaving userspace mutexes hung indefinitely.

Delay the OOM reaper, allowing more time for the exit path to perform
the futex cleanup.
